FULL NOVELXO Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Confront Maxwell
Camila took out her phone and called Maxwell. Surprisingly, his phone was turned off.
Camila immediately went to the workplace that Maxwell had mentioned – Pinnacle Company.
But the receptionist said that their company has never had anyone named Maxwell.
Camila was completely confused.
Why did Maxwell deceive her?
She didn’t care about thinking too much and called Eden again to ask for Svetla’s address.
Eden said she was nearby and could take Camila there together.
Eden and Camila took a taxi to the seaside villa. Svetla and Maxwell had just woken up, and the two of them were having breakfast.
“Maxwell, come out, I have something to ask you,” Camila shouted at Maxwell’s back.
Svetla stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
“Ms. Lambert, why are you so angry early in the morning?” Svetla, wearing a silk nightgown, had a graceful figure that was partially hidden.

“Sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to ask Maxwell a few questions and then leave.”
“How did you find your way here?” Maxwell appeared visibly displeased.
Camila saw that Maxwell’s mouth was swollen and half of her face was bruised. The suppressed anger in his heart could no longer be controlled.
“Did you injure my younger brother?”
“In your eyes, there was only your younger brother. You didn’t ask who started the fight first,” Maxwell touched his lip and winced in pain, causing him to grimace.
Maxwell had never been in a fight before, from childhood to adulthood. Considering Maxwell’s skills, Hudson wouldn’t have been able to hurt him at all.
Maxwell simply didn’t fight back at all, while Hudson, on the other hand, was not polite at all and directly greeted him on
the face.
Maxwell was beaten badly and couldn’t show his face, so he had to stay at Svetla’s place last night.
“Even if he started it, you can’t beat him to death, you know? Do you realize he almost lost his life?” Camila shouted almost.
“Maxwell, I can’t go on with you for another day. Let’s finalize the divorce proceedings today. The money I owe you will be offset against my brother’s medical expenses. From now on, we will have no debts between us.”
Maxwell burst into laughter.

“Your brother’s medical expenses were worth 80 thousand dollars? Camila, you really know how to keep track of expenses, huh?”
“Maxwell!” Camila saw Maxwell denying it and became so
angry that he trembled all over. “My brother’s leg is crippled. He will have to use a wheelchair from now on. Do you think it’s worth 80 thousand dollars?”
“If you feel it’s unfair, then we will report it to the police. By then, it won’t be just about compensating for the money.”
Camila finished speaking and walked out. Eden was also taken aback, she didn’t expect the situation to be so serious, and she didn’t want Maxwell to get into legal trouble.
So Eden quickly grabbed Camila and said, “Camila, let’s talk things out. Please don’t call the police yet.”
“If she wants to call the police, let her call. I’ll be waiting,” Maxwell also lost his temper.
“Maxwell, I think she came to extort money. She is just never satisfied, a country bumpkin, with money being the only thing on her mind.”
Camila didn’t originally intend to target Svetla, but she got angry after hearing her words.
“You’re right, I don’t have as much money as you guys do, but have principles and integrity, unlike you who are shamelessly audacious. It’s absolutely disgusting to see a married man openly dating and living with his ex–lover.”
“Camila!” Maxwell raised his hand in anger.

“Are you still going to hit me? Go ahead, if you have the guts, hit me to death, otherwise I won’t let you off.”
Maxwell was so angry that he trembled all over, but in the end, he still didn’t go through with it.
“Camila, don’t push me.”
“Did I force you? Maxwell, you really amaze me with your shamelessness,” Camila said, then stumbled and ran out of
the villa. Eden followed suit.
“Maxwell, women like Camila were too rough, she was simply not worthy of you. Why don’t you just follow her and go through with the divorce proceedings?”
“Why were you so eager for me to get divorced?” Maxwell suddenly turned around and looked at Svetla coldly.
Svetla was scared by this unfamiliar gaze.
“I wasn’t hoping for you to get divorced. Didn’t you say that you and Camila couldn’t even be considered friends? Since you didn’t have any feelings for each other, it would be better to separate sooner.”
“It’s my business whether she and I break up or not. If there’s nothing particularly important in the future, let’s not meet anymore. After all, I’m already married now, it’s not good to give people the wrong impression,” Maxwell said seriously.
“Maxwell, you didn’t fall in love with Camila, did you?” Svetla asked, but she didn’t get an answer as Maxwell had already left through the mansion’s gate.

“Maxwell, come back to me!” Svetla chased into the yard, only to see Maxwell’s car speeding away.
Svetla went crazy with anger.
***
Camila called the police as soon as she came back.
Just at that moment, Hudson also woke up.
The police came to the hospital and took a statement from Hudson.
According to Hudson’s recollection, after he had a fight with Maxwell, he was attacked by three people on his way back.
Because the street lamp on that road was broken, Hudson couldn’t see the other person’s face clearly and couldn’t come up with any more helpful clues.
After the police left, Maxwell arrived.
He was shocked to see Hudson injured so severely.
In the corridor, Camila cried uncontrollably.
Maxwell walked over and as soon as he reached out his hand, Camila dodged away.
“Go. I don’t want to see you.”
Even if Maxwell is not the real culprit, this incident started because of him. Maybe he was the one who hired someone to attack Hudson.
At this time, Maxwell’s credibility in Camila’s mind had already

“This matter really has nothing to do with me,” Maxwell didn’t expect things to develop like this.
“Have you become unimportant? I don’t want to talk to a liar anymore.”
“What do you mean? What did I deceive you about?” Maxwell asked, his face turning cold.
“What did you deceive me about?” Camila turned her face angrily towards Maxwell. “You said you work at Pinnacle Company. I went to look for you, and they said there is no such person. I’m starting to doubt what kind of job you really have.”
Maxwell felt guilty for a moment.
“Sorry, I lied to you. The company downsized recently and I was laid off, but I didn’t dare to tell you because I was afraid you would worry about me, so…”
Maxwell was indeed a genius at improvising. There was a moment just now when he wanted to confess to Camila, but he was worried that it would only deepen the
misunderstanding between them, so he decided to let it go.
“You lost your job?” Camila took out Maxwell’s card. “So, what’s the deal with the extra 5,000 dollars in here?”
“It was borrowed by me and my friend.”
“Which friend?”
“Svetla.”

“Did you borrow money from Svetla?”
Maxwell nodded guiltily.

Camila immediately handed the cash to Maxwell. “Give the money back to her, I won’t spend her money.”
“Okay, I’ll give it back to her right away,” Maxwell immediately became compliant. “So, can you stop being angry now?”
“I didn’t have time to be angry with you, just leave.” Although Camila didn’t believe Maxwell was necessarily the real culprit, she felt completely indifferent towards him at this moment. She thought that saying another word to him would be a waste of time.
Maxwell returned to the company and first called Pawel, giving him 24 hours to investigate and find the person who had injured Hudson last night.
